SPACE JAM (1996)
"Everybody get up, it's time to slam now." Facing an eternity of servitude at intergalactic amusement park Moron Mountain unless they can win a basketball tournament against aliens who've stolen the talents of Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing and other NBA all-stars, Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes recruit the only person capable of winning the game: retired champion Michael Jordan. An essential piece of film canon for any kid who grew up in the '90s, SPACE JAM is a zany potpourri of classic cartoon mayhem, playful celebrity roasting and then-advanced hybrid live-action/animation filming techniques. Its pop culture impact extended to the music charts: the soundtrack peaked at number two on Billboard and was certified platinum six times.
